He was born a proud second generation BOI to Clarence and Dorise Flick on November 25,
1943 in Galveston, Texas. Milton graduated from Ball High School in 1961; North Texas State
University (mathematics); and The University of Texas Law School (JD) at age 22. He was a
practicing attorney in Houston for over 50 years.
Milton had a wide range of interests including sailing (earning the dubious nickname of Captain
Bligh); country & western dancing; photography; genealogy; traveling the back roads and was a
history buff. He read voraciously thorough out his life. It was his love of dancing, however, that
led him to meet his beloved wife, Florine Cook at a dance event. They recently celebrated their
16th wedding anniversary.
Milton is survived by his wife, Flo, her children Cari Olson, Chad Cook, and Kim Kesner, and
their families; his daughter, Paige Flick Begley, her husband Dominic and their children, Payton
and Jameson; by his brothers Ted and Paul and their families, nieces and nephews, law
colleagues and many friends.
